About Mike A Myers Foundation
The Mike A. Myers Foundation concentrates on Texas-focused education, youth development, and safety-net programs — with a strong emphasis on scholarships for Texas students, early childhood supports, and services that address food insecurity and domestic-violence survivors. Grants are largely directed to regional institutions and nonprofits (many in Dallas/North Texas or statewide Texas), and the foundation often makes repeat grants to organizations that run scholarship, legal-aid, or direct-service programs. Occasional gifts support higher-education ethics programs, medical/palliative causes, and a national public-policy group, reflecting both personal/legacy donations and a small interest in policy philanthropy.
Focus Areas

About Mike A Myers Foundation
The Mike a Myers Foundation’s clearest signature is its long-running support for scholarships in Texas, especially the Myers-LeCroy Scholarship and related transfer awards that combine tuition support with mentorship. That education work sits alongside direct-service grants for domestic-violence survivors, food assistance, early-childhood programs, and other Texas-based community needs. Recent grants show a pattern of multi-year support rather than one-off gifts: Texas Advocacy Project received $250,000 in 2025 and $75,000 in 2023, while Texas Interscholastic League Foundation received $143,500 in 2024 and $130,500 in 2023 for scholarship programs. The foundation also funds named scholarship channels such as Dallas College Foundation, University of North Texas, and University of Texas Arlington, indicating a strong interest in helping students move through college and transfer pathways. Alongside education, it supports organizations serving underprivileged youth, families needing childcare, and people facing food insecurity or domestic violence. The grant list also includes selective gifts tied to medical palliative care and public policy, but those appear less central than the Texas education-and-safety-net core.
What Mike A Myers Foundation Funds

It also funded transfer support at the University of Texas Arlington and the University of North Texas, both tied to Myers-LeCroy scholarship awards. The foundation also backs direct services for families and vulnerable residents. It gave $100,000 to North Texas Food Bank in 2025 for food distribution across North Texas counties, and $75,000 to Childcare Group in 2025 for childcare and early childhood development services for low-income families. Youth-development grants appear as well. All Stars Project received $50,000 in 2025 for education and personal development in underprivileged communities.
